Colville Lake - K'ahbamitue - "Ptarmigan Net"

Site of the well-known mission, Our Lady of the Snows, the tiny village of Colville Lake is well away from the Mackenzie River, and 50 km north of the Arctic Circle. The elders here still pursue a land-based way of life, fishing and working their traplines by dog-team and snowmobile. There's a comfortable lodge with a small museum/art gallery next door. Colville Lake also boasts a B&B and two stores. The lodge attracts fishing enthusiasts to Colville Lake, a 452 square kilometer home to trout, grayling and pike.
